Blair Brown, Tarell Basham entertain Texans at Ohio pro day

The Houston Texans were among the more visible teams at the Ohio University pro day on Wednesday. Per two sources in attendance, Houston linebackers coach Bobby King was in Athens to check out two Bobcat defenders.

Tarell Basham was the headliner, and the outside linebacker/defensive end did not disappoint. Basham ran the 40-yard dash in 4.65 seconds, a very impressive time for a 268-pound pass rusher. The reigning MAC defensive player of the year was already getting a lot of buzz after an impressive NFL Scouting Combine workout. He is in play for the Texans in the second round.

Fellow LB Blair Brown also performed quite well in positional drills, showing the quickness and closing burst which helped him rack up 15 tackles for loss and 4.5 sacks for the Bobcats last fall. Brown stood on his impressive combine workout.

He is generally projected as a middle-round pick and would fit nicely at the left ILB position in Houston.

A couple of other Bobcats, defensive tackle Casey Sayles and wide receiver Sebastian Smith, merit Houston’s attention after the draft.
